I was looking for prescription glasses that had cable temple ear loops. I am very active bending over to detail cars and gardening and other activities. My glasses 👓 were always falling off. There are very few offers of cable temple prescription glasses but these have been fantastic.

Unfortunately, I am returning these because I cannot find anyone to add my prescription to them as it says can be done in the description. I took a photo and zoomed in you can see that they are molded one piece so when the screw is removed, they do not separate to remove the lens. I was told that they are probably glued. I am still giving these 4 stars because I love them - I love the fit, I love that weird little nose piece and they are so comfortable. I wear small round glasses and every pair I have owned always loose one nose bumper pad anyway. I am very disappointed that I cannot have prescription lens put in them. Oh, the sizes are not accurate, I ordered the 43mm but they are 46mm. I still like them though, just wish I could get prescription lens in them.

Glad I found these after spending way too much for similar on another website only to have them fall apart after about 6 months. These have held up well over the past few months and are significantly cheaper. I purchased the gold frames in 39mm size, and the nose bridge is stamped "18k" so I can only assume it's genuine gold plated. The temples do press into the sides of my head and leave a mark but they are not uncomfortable. The spring around the back of my ears rest in a different spot from my last pair and were uncomfortable for a few days until I got used to them.

My optometrist put my very strong prescription lenses in these without complaint or comment.

I plan on picking up a second pair as backup because they're so great for being so cheap. No more scrounging antique stores and flea markets.

UPDATE: I purchased these frames originally in February of 2019, and it is now October of 2020. Today, after attempting to bend and wobble the metal around the nosepiece to adjust the frames a bit, the weld weakened and the glasses finally gave up the ghost. over the last nearly-two-years the gold plating did wear off around exceptionally high-wear points like the side of the temples that touch my face, and particularly the spring of the temple piece where they curl around the ears. The glasses have otherwise maintained their appearance and durability, slowly bending to conform to my face over time a bit as well. I am so glad i had purchased my backup pair, i was able to remove the lenses and swap them over with little fanfare. I have now purchased another pair to replenish my backstock, and bonus is that I now have an extra set of temple pieces as well from the previous pair!

UPDATE #2: I have received my replacement frames, and they appear to be made by a different manufacturer. While they look very similar, the lenses appear to be larger (I ordered the 39mm frames, their packaging is labeled 39mm, but the temple is stamped 40 and they seem to measure closer to 41mm). This means I cannot use them as backup frames and swap lenses back and forth. I returned them for a replacement assuming that I'd been sent the wrong product, but my replacements are the same. I'm disappointed.

TL;DR: after nearly two years, they've been great and I'm buying more now.

Great, lightweight frames.
